NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA 180.76 -2.73%)’s autonomous driving ambitions have come under fire from none other than its long time rival AMD (NASDAQ:AMD 13.41 -2.40%) as the company has reportedly entered into an IP cross licensing agreement with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA 366.48 -1.99%). As we had previously reported, Tesla had been building the ultimate dream team for creating its own AI chip led by none other than Jim Keller, the legendary CPU architect that designed Apple’s initial A4 and A6 chips as well as the creator of Zen uArch that single-handedly put AMD back on the map.

Tesla has been building up for this moment for quite a long while. They have been aquiring talent from various fields and clearly have big ambitions in the autonomous driving segment. While they had the talent before, the one thing they did not have was a cross licensing agreement in place.
